Drum Bits

Pad Controls

Each 16 pad drum kit is divided into 4 drum groups with separate macro controls for the pitch and decay of each group. Special effect macros include controls for reverb, chorus, phaser, ping pong delays and an adjustable randomiser to add a human feel to the beat. Also included is the Togeo Studios special pattern changer midi effect. The pattern changer macro allows for 16 variations of any single midi clip you trigger giving a wide variety of interesting new drum beats and instant fills.

Drum Racks

Besides the single kit racks are a large selection of multi-chain racks with up to 4 kits which produce layered, morphing sounds for even more variety and control within your drum sessions. Switching between the different sounds and layers is easily controled by a single morph kit macro. By adjusting each of the layered kits group pitch and decay settings you can come up with an infinite set of new variations.

Added Content

Also in the pack are 36 live sets containing 187 drum clips which can be dragged into a session. Each set is a single track with one drum rack and several midi drum clips. Togeo Studios Drum Bits are primarily designed for use in electronic music. More than just standard drum kits Drum Bits has many fx hits, stabs, synth and bass samples integrated making them especially useful in minimal techno, house and experimental IDM genres of music.
